A very well run hostel with super friendly, willing and helpful reception staff. Colourful living area, clean, fun environment. Location: smack bang in the middle of the history centre of Phili, walking distance to attractions, parks, great food, bars. Hostel: runs like clockwork, beds are comfortable, towels & bedding provided, breakfast is simple - a choice of cereal but set... More

We were in Philadelphia for one night and enjoyed this hostel. It was quite a good location, good food places just down the street and quite close to the public transport systems. Is down an alley way that looked a little dodgy when we first arrived but after being there for more than a few minutes you can see that... More

I traveled to Philadelphia with 9 high school seniors (honor students) and stayed at the Apple Hostel for one night. Did the same trip last year but stayed at the Chamounix Mansion hostel in Fairmount Park, which worked fine, but Apple Hostel worked so much better and here's why: 1. Location- right in the Olde City, extremely close to all... More

This hostel was pretty cool. They don't do keys - just codes which is good so you don't have to lose the key - just have to remember the code! The hostel is located down a side street - feels a bit off but is pefectley safe. The hostel itself is clean and tidy with really friendly staff and comfortbale... More

Two major factors influence this review...first, I'm "older" (ok..."middle" aged is a better description) and second, I traveled with my 12 year old daughter. On Days 14-16 of our 50 day road trip, we stayed at Apple Hostel. Despite pre-trip arrangements, they were surprised to see a pre-teen and hesitated about checking me in. I squelched my panic and smiled... More

Other excellent HI Hostel. The place is great and the staff is friendly. The rates includes a small cereal breakfast but the kitchen is equipped. The dorms have free lockers outside, which is good so not to disturb people with metal noise. Moreover, the hostel is just around the corner of the Market Street, the greatest spot to have fun...

It was really a nice place with very friendly staff. I suggest everyone to give it a try if you ever wanna visit philly. The hostel was super clean, and the management was perfect. They also checked my student ID when i checked in but i am not sure if non-student travelers can also use the hostel or not. They... More
